Trent Edwards said his shoulder is fine and fans should blame the players more than Dick Jauron for the Buffalo Bills’ struggles in 2008. Edwards got good news on two fronts in the wake of the Bills’ 7-9 finish. He had several doctors look at his passing shoulder, and said they found nothing unusual about late-season soreness he felt. He also was thrilled the team retained head coach Dick Jauron.
“The shoulder is great,” said Edwards on Friday on a visit to the Super Bowl XLIII headquarters. “I’ve had a lot of rest and recovery. That’s the way my entire body is. It will heal on its own. The swelling has subsided and it’s fine. It was the normal wear and tear from the season.
“There was nothing major. I met with a lot of doctors. Everyone thinks it’s all good and there’s nothing I need to do.”
Edwards repeatedly voiced his support for Jauron last season.
“I’m extremely happy,” Edwards said about the coach’s contract extension. “It’s just frustrating to see all the fingers pointed at him when I feel like the fingers should have been pointed at others. He’s the wrong person to do that to. The players play, the coaches coach, and it ultimately comes down to the players on Sunday performing.
“I specifically could have done a better job. And if you ask that question to the other 52 guys on the team they’d say the exact same thing.”
